The Columbus Dispatch • Tuesday February 18, 2014 7:47 AM

Temperatures in the mid-to-upper 30s overnight ensured that any precipitation that fell in
Columbus early today did not freeze, but cooler temperatures north and east of the city have led to
snow emergencies, school delays and hazardous driving.

Among the school districts with two-hour delays this morning are Big Walnut, Granville,
Johnstown-Monroe, Jonathan Alder, Marysville, Newark and Southwest Licking.

In Perry County, the New Lexington and Northern school districts are closed.

Level 1 snow emergencies have been declared in Knox and Perry counties. Morrow County was under
a Level 2 snow emergency as of 6:00 a.m. Driving is particularly hazardous for motorists heading to
northeast Ohio, said WBNS-TV (Ch. 10) traffic reporter Karina Nova, and Crawford County declared a
Level 3 snow emergency, under which only official vehicles should be on the roads.

Skies are expected to remain cloudy today but brighten a little as the day progresses, with
temperatures rising into the 40s, according to WBNS-TV (Ch. 10) meteorologist Mike Davis. On
Thursday, the high is expected to reach into the mid 50s.
